VA7400 Performance

[Roger_22 · Accepted solution]

For a 7400 with 45 disks, you'll need to delete LUNs until your RG1 reserved LUN capacity totals less than 795GB, and 700GB for RG2, to make the array run in RAID 1+0. Also, set the array for no hot spares - you really will have them, it will just use RAID 5 space during a disk failure, and convert the data back to RAID 1 once the disk is replaced.

When I read this thread, it was scary...

Nearly identical hardware setup, and nearly identical problems.

My challenge is that I don't know what is 'optimum', so I can't really tell what our performance is. I just inherited this situation a couple of months ago.

I've spent alot of time collecting megs of stats on the VA7400, but have no 'normal' performance stats to compare them to.

Would someone care to tell me (as simply as you can, please... I'm no whiz at this stuff) what a good baseline would be?
